I am quite annoyed with a few people , no I do not hate them but I just wonder why do I bother mixing with them. One main reason is these people are in my life by defaults. Yes some of you may know what that means.
To avoid them means to upset my household prosperity. For sure this shouldn't be an issue if I could just tell him that I am not comfortable with them. In a way I too have become pretentious, as I have to put on a 'smiley' face every time I have to meet them.
The main reason that annoys me is their 'I know what is best attitude'. Sure I dress differently (not provocatively but I just am different from them) and sure I don't shout out how pious I am (or not :)). Anyway, I am just so tired of them. One of my close friends , said to me 'what an unnecessary stress you have put yourself through'. I couldn't agree more with her.
I am also so tired of them judging me in everything I do. There was a lady who commented on the boots that I was wearing and blatantly said that I could afford those boots because I was working. WTH? She is working as well and earning a decent wage. (Obviously the bridge between us have been burnt down ages ago, pretending to be nice to each other for the sake of our other half). Am I not allowed to treat myself? If I do treat myself should she have the right to make me feel about it? I don't shop like a mad woman, I shop when there is a bargain/sale. I let out a sigh of dismay upon hearing this and wished so hard that I don't have to see her ever again. My only consolation that she lives 3 hours away so I don't have to deal with her on a daily basis.
Another incident is when I mentioned about festivities to this group of people , suddenly I am the 'bad' one for wishing to celebrate other festivities. Hypocrites! What is wrong in joining in with other festivities? That doesn't mean that suddenly it would thwart their/my faith? How weak are their soul that they have to limit themselves to living under a rock. I was beside myself with disappointment and disgust.
Another thing that gets me is they harp on non-compulsory activities when the main point is to do the compulsory activities. But these are the same people that are back bitching and stabbing each other. WTH??
I find it funny (not in a ha ha way) that a small group of people can't even get along , no wonder they can't be bothered with getting to know other races or lifestyle.
Learning is not limited to one genre, if anything learning should open your mind and if your own faith is strong enough it will withstand all temptations.
On my way home today, I was approached by a group of ladies - they were preaching about their religion. I politely said no thank you but they didn't go away. So I thought to myself , well where is the harm in listening to what they have to say ( every religion teaches us to respect one another). Again may I reiterate the fact that I am not pious but I know myself in my heart where I stand. So I allowed them to go on, once they have finished what they have said , I thanked them for their time and walked away. Did they shake my faith? No they didn't. Did I feel good about myself? Yes because I wasn't rude and I respected them.
We all believe or don't believe in something or someone. But that doesn't give any one the right to be judgemental.
I am ashamed and saddened that I am associated with this group of people.
